The Heidebauern Connection - Györköny
The first settlers from the Heideboden arrived here around
1717 and 1718, although some sources suggest the date of 1710. The
first group who arrived consisted of twelve Magyar Lutheran families from Raab
County and four German families from Moson and
Sopron Counties. By 1722 the majority of the settlers were Magyars and they
numbered 193 Lutherans, 3 Calvinists and 35 Roman
Catholics. The Lutherans had their own pastor, none other than George Barany
"the father" of the Lutheran Church in Swabian
Turkey. But new settlers continued to arrive from Moson County and other parts
of Western Hungary that were joined by a stream
of colonists from Germany, most of whom came from Hessen. The German speaking
population expanded, and Barany took the
Hungarians to resettle in Szarszentlorincz in close proximity to the older
settlement. The two groups of Germans maintained
separate identities in the community well on into the next century and seldom
inter-married until then, and both groups preserved
their own customs from home as well as their "tracht".costume. Surveying the
church records for the Lutheran congregation I was
able to identify the following Heidebauern family names that are to be found
there, but there are also entries for the Lutheran
Heidebauern who settled in Bikacs but were not allowed to have a pastor.
